2 out of 3

Me, Lou and Dad Bruty all went to Paglesham Lagoon via Hampton Barns today. We had 3 target birds. Bewick Swan and Black Neck Grebe came up trumps but, as always, Tree Sparrows proved slippery. Good to see some hedgerow packed full of buntings and finches though (until the sparrowhawk ruined the party). 59 species in total to get the year list rolling.

ABOUT

The Dartford Warbler is the blog of brothers, Matt and Paul Bruty, originally set up to share each others' birding exploits from Essex and the London area respectively. Paul now (from November 2008) writes from Australia. Reports from elsewhere will appear from time to time when we're lucky enough to get away.
